    My old 1000 didn't have it. In fact, I seem to recall that it was the
"handful of early 1000's" that HAD EHB. Didn't someone here do a mail survey
of how many machines had the feature, and didn't it turn out the vast majority
of A1000s didn't have it? Granted, the new machines come with EHB installed 
(Halfbright Hill looks GREAT on my 2000!) but I wouldn't assume it was present
unless I wanted to piss off a significantly large segment of the Amiga 
population!
